WHO WE ARE

We are a social club, a tennis platform, and community builders. We host quarterly on court events that include adult drills, games, and open match play for all skill levels, as well as unique off court pop ups and experiences.

DFW Black Tennis is a community that connects black and brown players across the DFW metroplex with a love for tennis. We are dedicated to promoting diversity, fostering a sense of belonging, and providing opportunities for skill development at every level of play.
